Gee, it must be true because some dude said it. The dude also happened to have a vested interest in a powerful federal government, being that he sat on the highest federal court.
Let's go back a 120 years earlier and see what the founders had to say about it:
Article X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Weakminded fools like you think some random, anonymous federal aristocrat has more credibility than the geniuses who set this whole thing up and scarified their blood and fortune, as well as risking the gallows, to set us on the right path. You are a terrible American. But you'd make a great North Korean. Why don't you go there and worship the government. They love uninformed cogs.
